Would we cut down the cherry blossoms in DC to plant these money trees?

If they gave $2k/mo. til Covid ends, raised min. wage, passed Med4All, gave free college & cancelled the college loan debt, they’d be sailing to an easy victory. They’d rather lose then repair the fundamental economic injustice now built into the system. nytimes.com/2021/10/08/opini…

No, I would stop multi-billion dollar corporate subsidies, tax the very rich, cut military spending by 1/3. Stop the pretense that it “costs too much” to treat people to what they’re seen to deserve in countries doing better than ours. What we’re doing now is costing us our lives

The rich already pay a significant portion of the taxes in this country. They also employ and support millions of other taxpayers. The problem isn't the rich; is the politicians that have too much power. Things do cost too much thank you to those politicians.

Yeah that’s the trickle down propaganda that began in the 1980s: all that money given to the very rich was going to trickle down and lift all boats. Well it didn’t. And it left millions of people without even life rafts. At this point it’s a delusional lie.

No one is giving them money, Marianne. IT IS THEIR MONEY.

That’s simply incorrect. Corporate subsidies, deregulation and huge tax cuts for the very rich DOES constitute giving them money.
